They all have turbine engines except for the Ace boat which has a twin turbo V12 (I think), no trailers but do have a display stand.

MODELS Departments - U3 Turbinator Model 1/25 Scale Wow, those bring me back. Remember watching the races every year on Lake Washington. Gonna have to run down some piston boat kits, if i can find any.

Still happens but we don't want to fight the traffic and crowds up to Puget Sound to see the show. Different when we lived there. 2

How about clear top coats , Scalefinishes website says Tamiya’s primers made after 2022 are not compatible with their base paints. I’ve been using Mr. Surfacer (Gunze) spray lacquer primers (1200, 1500) with Scalefinishes base paints and they seem to work fine. For clearcoats over the Scalefinishes base paints, I’ve had the best results and minimal decal compatibility issues by airbrushing Mr Color (Gunze) GX-100 Super Clear III lacquer clear coat thinned 50/50 with Mr Color Leveling Thinner. I previously used Tamiya’s TS-13 rattle-can lacquer clear coat but found it occasionally “too hot” for the Scalefinishes metallics (reacting in spots causing uneven splotching of the metallic) as well as eating the decals when a wet coat is applied (even after multiple thin dry coats). Hope this helps! Those greens look cool - good luck! Edited March 20 by papajohn97 1

Although I kinda wonder if that Z/28 emblem is in the right location.... It needs to be centered with the hood stripe....🤔
catpack68 Posted March 21 Posted March 21 (edited) Picked this up for a great price since they are starting to get pricey. The box is damaged.All the parts are off the trees and it looks the roof was painted at one time,but it’s all there. Edited March 21 by catpack68 4

RSchnell Posted March 22 Posted March 22 My sole purchase from the Spring Daytona Turkey Run show. '55 Ford Victoria promo. The right fender has some warpage, but all in all not bad at all. I think it's fixable. 5
WillyBilly Posted March 22 Posted March 22 Finally, after 50 years of rattle cans, I am taking a dive into airbrushing. Look for stupid airbrush questions real soon. No, really. I have no clue what I am doing. 6
dave branson Posted March 22 Posted March 22 Here is what I got this week. Artillery wheels are from Mean Machine Models on Ebay. This is my second order from them and have not any problems at all. I got the artillery rims for the Revell 1941 Chevy pickup the rims also come with 3 different center caps. 2
stitchdup Posted March 22 Posted March 22 first arrival in a while. i have a gnx kit but its molded in black and brittle with a pushed t th side roof. rather than destroy it i just ordered a grand national. 2
michelle Posted March 22 Posted March 22 got these kits/rebuilders in the mail this morning from a friend 5
StevenGuthmiller Posted March 22 Posted March 22 (edited) Decided to order some frames so that I could start displaying some of my magazine appearances before the magazines get too beat up. I'm not one for saving a bunch of magazines anyway, so this will be a way to save some of that stuff indefinitely, and where I can enjoy them. I have another half dozen or so frames on order so I can finish up my wall. Steve Edited March 22 by StevenGuthmiller 10
Bucky Posted March 22 Posted March 22 Academy kits from Korea. A hobby shop and a three wheel truck. 1/24 scale. (Sorry bout the sideways pic!) 9
OldNYJim Posted March 23 Posted March 23 My wife ran to Michael’s today and brought these back for me - they were $2 each on clearance: The fact that my wife knows enough about my hobby to know that I have a use for these AND the fact that she tried to pick colors that would be useful for car builds tells me I lucked into a pretty good wife… 7
Mr mopar Posted March 23 Posted March 23 Mail call Friday enjoy ! and YES that is the Engine that fits the Tamiya Mustang gt . 6
